    I've got a new TV!

    I know some of you will be less impressed than I am but, after 18yrs watching a 17" TV, I am now the proud owner of a Panasonic Viera TX26LXD70 LCD TV.

    It was an early birthday present from my mother-in-law. Our old one was playing up and she said we could have ?500 for a new one.

    I did a lot of research to find the best I could get for the price and found that the cheapest I could get the Panny - with a five year guarantee - was ?499 from Crampton&Moore - but then there was ?25 for postage.

    I phoned up the Panasonic shop in Plymouth and asked them did they have it and how much: they said, yes ?649.99.

    I told them about C&M and, after going away to check, the woman came back and said they would match the price - including the 5yr guarantee.

    Not only that but they delivered it free: ordered Monday, arrived 12.30 Tuesday.

    Brilliant TV and plenty big enough for our little cottage.
    To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
